Technology Lending

Twinsburg Public Library offers devices and accompanying equipment (i.e. chargers, headphones, wall adapters) that may be checked out by patrons.

Policies and Forms

  • Please see the Equipment Loan Policy before checking out any equipment.
  • Equipment Loan Form - Required to check out available Library equipment that falls within a set price range (determined by the Library and subject to change). You must provide your library card, valid driver's license, and be 18 years of age or older to borrow equipment. This form only needs to be filled out once.
  • Laptop Addendum - Accompanies the Equipment Loan Policy Form; both forms are required in order to check out a laptop.
  • Item loan periods, fines, and number of renewals

Note: The Twinsburg Public Library and other local libraries have seen a major increase in the misuse and theft of library cards and materials. The following rules apply to equipment checkouts.

  • Regardless of the rules of a patron’s home CLEVNET library, TPL policies will be applied to TPL materials. While some other CLEVNET libraries allow juveniles to check out devices, juveniles may not check out devices belonging to the Twinsburg Public Library.
  • Staff may check IDs to confirm ownership of the library card when devices are checked out.
  • A juvenile must be present if his/her card is being used to check out materials.
  • Devices may not be checked out on temporary cards.

Devices for Checkout

Laptops

Find a comfy spot in the Library to do all your work. To check out a laptop, you must be 18 or older, have a Library card in good standing, a valid driver's license, and fill out an Equipment Loan Policy & Form. We do not accept alternative forms of ID. Please note that laptops can only be used in the Library and cannot be taken to remote locations.

Kindles

Why wait a month to get the most popular Patterson, Roberts, or Scottoline? Some of the latest, most popular books are available as eBooks on our Kindles. We own both Kindle Fires and Kindle Paperwhites. Beat the wait list and check one out!

Launchpads

Available for adults and children, these locked-down tablets offer a safe and secure way to play, learn something new, or exercise your mind no matter what your age. See the staff at the Reference or Children's Desks for information.

Rokus

Retro Gaming Systems & Retro Games

Relive past glories or finally beat that NES, SNES, or Sega Genesis game you never could by checking out out a Retro Trio or Nintendo 64. Controllers are included or available for checkout and we have a wonderful selection of popular retro games such as Super Mario Kart, Tetris Attack, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Marble Madness! See staff for availability and information on which system plays which type of game.

WiFi Hotspots

Bring WiFi into your home without the cable company or save your cell phone data by using a mobile hotspot. Just turn the device on, connect your wireless device, and you are good to go! To request a hotspot, please call the Reference Desk at (330) 425-4268 x2.
